Extracted is a new survival competition where contestants face extreme conditions in the Canadian wilderness. Unlike traditional survival shows, families of the contestants can watch live footage and decide if their loved one should be extracted for their safety. Survival consultant Megan Hine discussed the behind-the-scenes work, including the logistics of extraction, the psychological factors involved, and the safety measures in place.
Extracted on Fox is a groundbreaking survival competition that pushed contestants to their limits while still prioritizing safety behind the scenes.
“I dropped the survivalists out in the terrain and then I'm standing by. I've got access to all the cameras and I can watch in and see who might be getting extracted. Then when the family member presses the extracted button, we have to act really quickly,” Hine explained. “I have to go in and get them out, which logistically at times is quite challenging as to where the survivalist was in the environment.”“The survivalist has no idea that they're going to be extracted.
Hine discussed the conversations that were always happening regarding the wellbeing of each contestant, telling Us, “The whole premise of this was that we were working with a cast who had very little outdoor and survival experience. There is an element with the duty of care. From my side with the safety part, this is what I've been doing behind the scenes on shows like this for over 20 years now. There are signs and symptoms, and you're constantly watching out.
“The contestants were as much as possible left to their own devices,” Hine said. “We do always have a psychologist in the background, just in case. That is always a requirement and that's duty of care. But the cast are aware of what they've signed up for and they're there to play a game.”“It's all about resilience and the power of adventure. When I talk to the cast afterwards, they might be worried about how they came off onscreen or what they did.
